The sm 52 is a music industry standard for good reason. I was using a cheap replica before I got this & the sound was about as appealing as a soiled man-nappy.

I love this microphone for outside kick drum position, just inside the sound hole. It delivers great low end, the 50hz to 100hz is just really nice. If your after a mic that gives click, don't buy this one, I'd recommend d112 or Audix D6. I haven't tried on a bass cab or any other low frequency items, but definitely a great inside port hole drum mic. I've used live and in the studio, and both times it has given me great results. It's a sturdy workhorse that will perform. More so on smaller kick drums, your 18 to 20 inch, It's very tight on those, but I had it on a stupidly over sized 26 that had no pillows or anything and then it became very boomy, but a bit of compression and EQ attenuation of problem frequencies and we were back on track.
Amazing
